The rear-end of my 1976 is slightly higher than the front end. I have coil springs over shocks by Koni and they don't look adjustable. What is the best way to lower the rear-end so it matches the front end. In other words so it's level?

What is the best way to lower the rear-end so it matches the front end. In other words so it's level? I'm not sure about the Konis but the Bilsteins have multiple grooves in the shock body that locate a snap ring that fits right under the lower spring perch. Look at your shocks first to see if those grooves are there - if they are, you're good to go for adjustment. You may want to remove the shocks to do this so the weight of the car isn't resting on the springs or you can jack the car up to relieve spring pressure. You're still gonna get spring action driving against the perch so you probably want to get some small ratchet straps to contain your spring pressure. Others should chime in for previous experiences - I've only done mine off the car. |
